Stay hydrated every day
Carry a 1–2L refillable bottle—water is widely available but desert‑dry conditions and long drives make regular intake essential.
Bring sturdy, broken‑in shoes
Cobblestone medinas, beach rock slabs, and short hikes around cliffs require good traction and ankle support.
Protect yourself from the sun and wind
Sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and a wind layer are useful—coastal winds are strong and mountain sun is intense.
Carry small local bills for markets
Souks and small cafés prefer cash; have small denominations for bargains, tips, and street food.

Provides traction on cobbles, sandy beaches, and rocky outlooks.
Light windproof jacket
Protects against Atlantic gusts in Essaouira and chill at higher elevations.
